    In my opinion we have 2 super SGs (Mobley and Torres) and we don't need them both (especially, when Steve's play is quite similar to typical SG play). We have lack in rebounding and defense. So we need better C (for instance Mihm) or good rebounding and good in defense SF (Kirilenko from Utah).

    We should trade Mobley, because he is more famous than Torres and with his salary he is very attractive on the market - we could get some real good player.

    I will take Kirilenko (or this type of player, if you know another player like he). There are some reasons:

    1) He's just 20 and play on phenomenal level, as so young player.
    2) He is outstanding in defense, what is not typical for unexperienced player
    3) He is exceptional rebounder and blocker and this ability makes him especially interesting when we have good shooting, but not good rebounding PFs. He'll take dirty work out of them, and then Taylor and Thomas can concentrate on this, what is their biggest advantage - shooting.
    4) He's maybe not a supershooter, but, hell, we don't need more shooters. He is average shooter but has long range and he'll develop, I think to Nowitzki's or even Stojakovic's level.
    5) His another advantage is the fact, that he was playing such a role yet. He was playing in Europe in CSKA Moscow in first line-up with good shooting PF and C. So he has the experience in that role (I can say more: During playing on SF he was the best rebounder in all Euroleague with 19 years old - can you imagine?)
    6) He is relative easy to get now, but it's a question of time. If we can get him, it will be a steal.

    Dude, chill out!

    I did not mean to offend you--just a play on Issel's ignorance.

    Next time though, please use "Jack$%@" instead, as not to offend me!

    I guess I will apologize for my comments and suspend myself from the board for 4 games:(
